EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the intensity and chaos of "The Battle of Moodkee" during the First Sikh War in 1845. Engraved by C. H. Jeens and published around 1880, this lithograph showcases a pivotal moment in history. In this scene, we witness the clash between the forces of the British East India Company and the Sikh army on a vast battlefield in Mudki, India. The soldiers are depicted with unwavering determination as they engage in combat amidst billowing smoke and flying cannonballs. The image highlights various elements that defined warfare during this era - cavalry charges, cannons firing relentlessly, and soldiers valiantly fighting for their respective causes. It serves as a testament to both the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those involved. Notably, this battle resulted in victory for the British East India Company over their Sikh adversaries. The significance of this triumph cannot be understated as it marked another step towards expanding British influence within colonial territories. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical artwork offers us an invaluable glimpse into an important chapter in world history – one where empires clashed on foreign soil for power and dominance.
